From tea-adventure

A hundred gram puerh cake from the Lincang area of Yunnan. All leaves from the famous old tea trees of the Manfei mountain. Although still very young and therefore slightly bitter, this tea has this friendly sweetness which is typical for Lincang puerh.

The dry leaves smelled quite floral, but there is some earthiness coming through. It doesn’t have any of the weird fishiness or plain dirt aroma that shou or raw pu-erh sometimes have. The first infusion was also quite floral, with some nice spiciness. And a firm bitterness. Not very astringent though. The infusion after that were getting less floral but there was this interesting minty, cooling effect. It also tasted similar to the last infusion of Chinese green tea. This I didn’t like so much, but all the others flavors and the mouth feel, was pretty nice. Very different from what I’m used too. Also something surprising was the feeling of being really focused and getting rather sweaty. There was a nice warming sensation. This was most strong with the first 5 infusions.
